So, what's the real logic behind a filibuster? Clearly it was working for the cause of good yesterday, but is it a loophole or a feature?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I think the right to filibuster in a legislature is a bad idea, does more harm than good and should be eliminated. But so long as it exists, I think any opportunity to use for good should be taken, because I don't believe in unilateral disarmament.
